Do you find yourself trying on larger sized clothes, the sizes you used to wear? I did it today. Tried on a lovely Planet number selling for just £8.99 in the charity shop - but it was too big! A generous size 16 which I would once have been crossing my fingers fitted. Sometimes a 16 sometimes I had to opt for an 18. I realise I haven't quite adjusted. A 14 is fine and there's a pair of Laura Ashley pure wool trousers there that I've got my eye on at just £5.99. Unfortunately it's a size 12 - but hey - a few more weeks...and they're mine!

How lovely to realise that you are so many sizes down, a lovely experience. I hope those trousers are still there when you go back

[Goodnessknows in reply to lucigret]

so do I! Feel like a film star - or should that be a celebrity nowadays? Hope things are going well for you too.

Do they insist that you can get into the clothes before you buy them - or could you buy them... and look forward to being able to get into them?

[Goodnessknows in reply to S11m]

I'm trying to be sensible, though for that price what am I worried about!

[Goodnessknows in reply to S11m]

They've been sold! so wish I'd taken the chance.

Try the trousers and see. I havent bought L.A clothes for quite a while but they used to be comfortably sized , so those trousers may fit better than you think! Be a shame if they got sold before you try them. 😊

[Goodnessknows in reply to elliebath]

They've sold! Should have bought them. Bought a pair of pink jeans instead, size 14 - and they're too big.

[elliebath Maintainer in reply to Goodnessknows]

Oh that's a shame . But at least that confirms that you need size 12.😊
